Knox United welcomes
guest speaker Van Bergen
The Knox United Church guest
minister on Sunday, Jan. 19 at 10
a.m. was Elly Van Bergen of
Exeter. Rev. Paul Ross was away
for a couple of days.
Mrs. Van Bergen is a lay
minister. She is active in local and
presbytery church work. The
congregation is pleased to have her
serve them. She opened the service

Me with Bernice Gross the
organist. Prayer of Confession
followed, then the children's chorus
Jesus Loves the Little Children was
sung as the children came to the
front.
Mrs. Van Bergen spoke to the
children regarding their days away
from school due to stormy weather
recently. She continued speaking
about their Bible studies, then
showed a poster outlining
upcoming lessons on meeting with
God. Repetitive prayer was said
before the children went to their
Sunday School classes.
The hymn Take Up Your Cross
was sung, followed by Mrs. Van
Bergen reading from 1st Samuel,

1st John I where Nathanael
recognizes that Jesus was God's son
after Philip told him to "Come and
See".
The hymn Lord, Speak to Me was
then sung. The minister's message
was "Called". She spoke about
everyone being called to have faith
and trust and to do God’s work in
this world. She told a story about a
surgeon who went to a library
every Wednesday. He spoke and
listened to a group of elderly
people. One day he noticed a
geptleman walking with a nasty
limp and asked him what was
wrong. The man told him that he
was unable to bend and cut his
toenails and they were much too
long. The surgeon told the man to
meet him at a certain place. He
brought his nail clippers and cut
them for him. The gentleman's feet
did not hurt afterwards and he had
peace.
It is the same for everyone, Mrs.
Van Bergen said. There are always
things that can be done to help
others. The sermon closed with
prayer of thanks and concern. The
Lord's Prayer was said in unison.

securely fastened under your chin.
• Wear safe, reflective clothing

The other cover has plenty of
room for the company or business
logo and provides ample room
inside for appointment information.
The cards would be ideal for doc

of the committee and its goal to
work towards the reduction, pre

RRSP TIPS
FOR 1997
1. Take advantage of Canada's biggest single
tax break...RRSPs. Your contribution is tax deductible and, your
investment plus interest grows and compounds tax-deferred.
2. Reduce taxes and perhaps even generate a tax refund via your
RRSP Contribution. Your tax refund can then be used towards your
next RRSP contrbution or other financial goals.
3. Plan ahead with Spousal RRSPs. Spousal RRSPs will help to
reduce the tax bite when converted to a RRIF at some future date.
Spousal RRSPs are effective when one spouse has significantly
higher income or a superior employer pension plan.
4. Maximize the allowable 20% foreign content holding of your RRSPs
to diversify your portfolio.
5. Contribute early and keep making start-of-the-year contributions.
This way, your money is tax-sheltered and growing earlier. Doni
wait until the February deadline. Ideally, your January 1996
contribution should have been made January 1996. The difference
will prove to be substantial over the years.
6. RRSP loans are available during RRSP season. Ensure that your
cash flow can stand an extra monthly payment and pay back the loan
when you receive your tax refund.
...and see next week for more tips...
